This weekend, Louisiana Art and Science Museum’s Studio Saturday program will offer visitors a hands-on journey back in time to ancient Egypt. Visitors will learn the history and techniques behind Egyptian pottery in an open-format pottery demonstration led by local ceramicist Bill Moore on Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. until noon.

A retired physician turned accomplished ceramic artist, Moore specializes in creating functional pottery pieces. During the interactive demonstration, Moore will showcase techniques for wheel throwing and hand-building as well as glazing and firing.

LASM’s Studio Saturday program is open to all ages. This event is free with general admission and free for LASM members.
